Putting aside any rivalries (*insert joke about Coventry here*), what do you think are the best/worst-looking badges of the clubs in the 92?

  1. Something about the Cambridge United badge really doesn’t do it for me. The lettering/font looks quite amateur-ish

  2. NeverGonnaGiveMewUp on

    Any badge with a bird on is fine by me. Except Brighton. Of all the animals to choose, a sodding seagull.

  3. Always found Brums badge a bit strange. I’m sure there’s a reason for a globe and a ball but doesn’t feel very “Birmingham” to me. Like I guess the idea is Birmingham is a world city but that’s true of most large cities.

    In contrast, I’ve always loved Bristol Rovers badge. Like, it looks like a bottle of Captain Morgan, sure. but there’s not much more Bristol than their history of piracy. They don’t hold back either. Modern design convention may suggest it’s better to stick to simple shapes and colours but they just said nah, fuck it. Massive fucking Pirate. Genuinely class.

  4. Cheltenham Town have the ugliest, but their old one is beautiful. Modernisation at its worst, along the lines of Arsenal.

  5. If we still had the Flavio Briatore hair badge then QPR by a long shot, but I love the simplicity of the modern badge, although it’s not quite as good IMO as it was pre-Flavio hair (probably an age thing though).

    I’ve always quite liked Blackburn’s though.

  6. Sheffield wednesday’s is great, the older was slightly better tho, in general owls are class.

    Bolton is underrated imo stands out, looks pretty elegant and cool tbh

    Have a soft spot for bristol city’s, robins are class too

    Current arsenal
    badge is the biggest downgrade and has aged horribly imo bring back the fancy fonts or art deco vibes preferably both if possible

    Also salford’s is shit, looks like a logo for a laser quest arena

    Even with a red rose, I have to admit Blackburn’s is a thing of beauty. Soft spot for QPR for simplicity. Hate to admit I like Wednesdays’s too, but I really like the aesthetic. Ipswich nice and unique. Ours isn’t my favourite by any stretch.

  8. I love AFC Wimbledon’s badge (nothing to do with them being a phoenix club or anything, it’s just a lovely badge). Cambridge desperately need a new badge and Lincoln’s is a bit creepy, even though I respect the uniqueness of it

  9. TescosTigerLoaf on

    Bournemouth is lit, looks like soviet propaganda. I find a lot of the really old fashioned ones too busy.

  10. Blackburn, Charlton, Reading, West Ham, Wolves, WBA, Mansfield. I’ve always liked those ones. Just because maybe colours, overall cleanness/distinctiveness, uniqueness.

    I also really liked the old Portsmouth badge, less so the newer one although it’s still not bad. If I was answering this based on the badges ten years ago it’d probably be different.

  11. Constant-Estate3065 on

    I quite like Reading’s badge, it’s smart and classy. Port Vale’s I always think looks a bit like Alan Partridge’s blazer badge, which is awesome. MK is genuinely an ugly badge, and it’s MK so…

  12. I love Derbys, Forests and Palaces. Also loved Morecambes shrimp until they added all that nonsense around it

    Worst one is probably Northampton. With the maroon, it reminds me of some old pub signage that hasn’t been refurbished in 30 years.

  13. Can’t stand our badge looks far too corporate and generic. Always like the gas’, Preston and Palace

  14. I like Forest and Derby’s old school cool. Bournemouth is slick. Spurs is classy.

    I don’t like Cambridge, Hull feels too American sports and MK Dons feels like they said ‘No one likes us anyway, so why try harder with the badge?’.

  15. I’ve always admired the Sunderland badge. For a logo that has so much “going on” it still doesn’t look over the top nor outdated, and in an era where minimalist designs is all the wave it stands out in the best possible way. For worst I’d go with Leeds. In part because it’s simply an ugly badge, but mainly because it’s an insult to how good it could be if they just went back to their roots

    The East Midlands kills it with their badges. Derby, Forest and Lincoln are all bangers, Leicester, Burton and Mansfield have decent badges too. Notts County’s is a bit drab looking but it’s classic.

  17. Best:

    Notts County
    Blackburn Rovers
    AFC Wimbledon
    Sunderland
    Millwall
    Lincoln
    Preston North End

    Worst:

    Cambridge
    Newport Co
    Cheltenham
    MK Dons
